Grade 2 students at Elizabeth School honoured fallen veterans in the Elizabeth Métis Settlement by participating in the No Stone Left Alone campaign, placing poppies

on veterans’ headstones this month.

All of the veterans the Grade 2 students honoured were from Elizabeth Métis Settlement—Joseph Collins, Albert Cardinal and William Swan.

“It was a very heartwarming and touching moment for these little ones,” said Grade 2 teacher Laurie Collins.

No Stone Left Alone was launched in 2011 by a woman named Maureen G. Bianchini-Purvis in recognition of the sacrifice of the Canadian men and women who have lost their lives to war.

It became her mission to see that one day all of the soldiers’ headstones would have a poppy placed in their honour and the cemetery would resemble the idea of Flanders Fields where the poppies grow “row on row.”
